Kayak Pool Question

[aylad]

Hi, and welcome to the forum!!

I will let Pooldoc or one of the others comment on your branding questions--I don't know anything about the Kayak brand, but just wanted to throw a caution out there...

Check with your insurance company to see what their requirements are about fencing around the pool, just to keep from having any issues later. Our insurance company refuses to insure the pool part of the homeowner's policy unless there is a minimum 6 foot fence around the pool, whether it's IG or AG. That's one of those things you need to find out before you have an incident and really need to know!!

My neighbor has a kayak, I couldn't tell you much about it other than he told us he bought it in the early 2000s, so I believe it's at least 9-10 years old. A friend of a friend has a kayak and she got it for around $15k I believe. At a dealer outside of Chicago. I was quoted around 18k, down to 15k on a clearance model. I personally wouldn't want to spend much more than $12k at most.

Assuming you get a standard agp, lets say the kit costs around 3500, then you might spend another $1k on installation. Putting up a deck could set you back another $1500. Depending on the city ordinances if you need to put up a fence around it that would probably be another 1k-1500. This could take you up to 7500-8k. Still much cheaper than 12k, and way less than 20!

Keep in mind you can get an expandable liner and have a deep end created for your agp. Kayak isn't needed to get a deep end on your pool. Many people have gone with doughboy expandable liners and they even warranty their pools to be buried, I've seen many sunken 2'+.

Oh, I also noticed my neighbors kayak came with a small sand filter. Equipment would be another thing to check on w/ kayak.
